Katrina Wigginton - University of Maine at Fort Kent
When I first started looking into the college process, I put a great deal of effort into my applications and researching campuses. I also signed on with NCSA to help with recruiting for volleyball.
The best part of recruiting was definitely the feeling I got each time I was contacted by a college that actually wanted me to play for them. NCSA impacted my recruiting process greatly. They got my name out for college coaches, some of which may have never found me, if I hadn't joined NCSA!
The best advice I could give someone in the process now, is to stick with it. Even when things get tedious, and the outcome looks bleak, stay with it! It took time, but I found the place that was right for me, and so will you!!!
Being a college athlete is amazing. First and foremost, you are automatically a part of the team; a family that will certainly stick with you for your entire college experience. Also, you not only get an education, but you also get to travel, meet new people, and have more fun than most at college. It's true, athletes do have more fun!!!
The most successful part of my story so far is that i made the Dean's list for my first semester with a GPA of 3.3 and my volleyball team finished 2nd in the conference. I also received "Rookie of the Year"!!!! for the Sunrise Conference. Thanks for all your help!
